Introduction This summary describes the fourth community meeting for the Downtown Neighborhood Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Plan, held on May 12, 2015, at Kaiulani Elementary School. The public meeting was an opportunity for the community to learn about the Downtown TOD Plan and the changes that have been made since the Public Review Draft (PRD) was published in 2012.

Community meetings and workshops are a key component of the public participation process for the Downtown TOD Plan. The planning process has been organized into four phases, as shown on the graphic schedule below. Community involvement has been integral to shaping the Plan, with neighborhood board meetings, public workshops, interviews, a resident survey, and a project website providing opportunities for input during each phase.

The Visioning & Existing Conditions phase included extensive community outreach and technical analyses that resulted in an overall vision and set of planning principles. The Emerging Vision/Concepts phase illustrated the emerging vision for the three station areas (Iwilei, Chinatown, and Downtown) and explored options for land use, open space, and circulation. The Framework Plan phase formed the bridge between exploration of various options and the PRD. It outlined the overall concept for each station area and specific land use, circulation, and open space ideas. The Framework Plan was further refined following review by the Advisory Committee, government agencies and other project stakeholders.

The Final TOD Plan phase (underway) has involved publishing the PRD in 2012; public and agency review of the PRD, and incorporation of comments into the Draft Final Plan (May 2015). The final steps of this phase, beginning in mid-2015, include public hearings at the Planning Commission and City Council and formal adoption by resolution by the City Council.

Meeting Format and Participant Discussion Approximately 60 community members participated in the Community Workshop #4. They were each provided with a summary brochure of the Plan.

The objectives of the meeting were to present and discuss changes to the Downtown TOD Plan and confirm that the Plan still represents the goals and visions of the community. The public meeting opened with a welcome by Mayor Kirk Caldwell. Following a few trivia questions by the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) to warm things up, DPP staff then presented an overview of the Downtown TOD Plan and the major changes that have been made since the 2012 PRD. The presentation (attached to this summary) was followed by an opportunity for audience questions.

The following questions/comments were made by participants during the workshop:

• A concern was expressed about the high cost of the rail project.

• The connection from Chinatown to the Foster Botanical Garden (FBG) via the Sun Yat-sen Mall should be a topic covered in the upcoming Chinatown Action Summit. While FBG consists of a wide array of Asian gardens, the Chinatown community would like to have a separate, dedicated Chinese garden. Sun Yat-sen Mall could be the place for this and the connection between FBG and Chinatown. This could contribute to his legacy as a significant historical revolutionary. By showcasing his contributions to society, this space could attract Chinese tourists and serve as a candidate for possible fund-raising efforts.

• Why is rail not being built at grade through town? This concern was noted but is beyond the scope of the TOD Plan.

• Who is going to pay for TOD? Many

of the mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly projects envisioned by the Plan will be borne by private developers. Public-private partnerships are being explored, and the City may contribute to high-quality projects by providing infrastructure or other support within its means.

The group was then invited to stay for an open house where participants could see more plan details on large posters (the posters used are attached to this summary). The posters covered the plan vision and principles, land use, circulation, parks and open space, and public facilities and implementation. HART was also present with posters of the station design.

Participants were also encouraged to share any additional comments on cards provided by the City. Written comments included excitement about the potential for pedestrian improvements and waterfront development with connections to Downtown. One respondent expressed concern about affordable housing and housing for the homeless, while another took the opportunity to suggest taking advantage of Sun Yat-sen’s legacy and the cultural importance of Chinatown in the history of Honolulu. It was suggested the City leverage the “Sister City” program it has with many Chinese cities to explore these possibilities.

Next Steps DPP will be incorporating final changes, as necessary, and then submitting the Plan to the Planning Commission and City Council for adoption. Public hearings will offer the community additional opportunities to submit comments or express support for the vision laid out in the Plan.

Following adoption of the Plan, the DPP will prepare draft TOD zoning for the Downtown station areas and again provide opportunities for the communities to review and comment at community meetings and Planning Commission and City Council hearings. DPP will review development proposals in the TOD Zone for consistency with the vision and recommendations in the Plan.

Other implementation elements, including improvement to River Street and Aala Park, upgrades to infrastructure systems in Iwilei, and pedestrian and bicycle access projects, are underway and will continue to move forward in anticipation of rail operations in 2019.
